Chapter 208: The Dust Settles
Archmage Nelson left, and Rod closed the door and sat back across from Roy, silently accompanying her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The little silver fox probed his brain, and after a while he mustered up the courage to get out from under the bed, rubbed off the cobwebs hanging from the soft white fur on the drooping sheets, jumped on the chair and lay on the side, blinking at the silent siblings.
Outside the window, there was the sound of dull footsteps and commanding orders, and more Narig troops arrived outside the building, but in the end they could only surround the building without daring to offend it in the slightest...... Rhodes understood that all he needed to do was wait, waiting for the Imperial garrison to arrive and enter the city. Without the king's orders, the leaderless Narig soldiers would never have had the audacity to engage the suzerain's army.
As long as the organizers of this congress do not break their promises, the coup d'Γ©tat can be considered almost settled.
......
The boy had to admit that Roy did have a reason to hide the truth from himself - such a big matter did not require him to contribute half of his efforts from beginning to end, but it went smoothly without any problems. The elder sister showed the younger brother such a law with practical actions: unless you can be strong enough to ignore all obstacles, "conspiracy" and "stratagem" are far stronger than swords or brute force.
Sitting quietly with his sister for a while, the young man still couldn't bear the trouble of doubts after all. His personality made him instinctively want to figure out everything that happened to him: "Roy, he ...... Why the hell do you want to kill me? I didn't say a word, so I couldn't have offended him. β
Roy didn't answer immediately, but sighed, and only slowly spoke after a moment: "Now that I think about it, I am responsible for how things have developed into the way they are. I never took the time or effort to learn how to get along with the opposite sex, or how to take care of other people's feelings...... I always think that dating is like when I am with you, squeeze out the fragmentary time to spend time with each other, talk about some topics that interest me, and then continue to do my own business separately when the time is up, but I don't think about this - even my own brother is annoying, how can I force outsiders who are not relatives to put up with my temperament?" Roy had a lost expression on her face that Rhodes had never seen before, she looked at the void in front of her, and said in a tone that seemed to be talking to herself, "Now that I think about it, maybe I'm too selfish and self-centered." Except for the superficial courtesy, I never cared about other details that need to be paid attention to when getting along with people, never considered the real needs and desires of the people around me, always thought that my values and attitude towards life were suitable for you and everyone else, and never realized that you might not like and support my ideas...... I don't like Soth, but out of some thought and intention to approach him, I unconsciously always mention you in front of him...... In the end, not only did he ruin him, but he almost killed you. β
"Roy ......"
"Rod, if you have any opinions about me, please don't hide it in your heart, say it, I swear I will definitely change. β
Rhodes looked at her worriedly, trying to get her to keep her in control of her attractiveness, but eventually decided to talk about it later...... Roy's self-examination spoke his mind, but after all, it was his twin sister who had just killed her boyfriend for herself, and now was her most vulnerable, confused and comforting moment. In this situation, could he really put forward any opinions or clap his hands and praise Luo Yi for finally discovering his own problems?
After a while, he decided to ease the awkward atmosphere with the same self-examination: "No, Roy...... I confess that the reason why I say that you are annoying is actually just because you are my family and my sister, and I believe in my heart that you will never be angry with me and will never hurt me to dare to be so fearless. It's stupid to show the bad side to your family like this...... But I promise, I've never really annoyed you. No matter what happens, you will always be my mother-to-child sister, my favorite family member in the world. β
The sensational remarks that made Rod himself a little numb obviously worked, and Roy's face regained a little blood, and he barely squeezed out a smile at his brother, without saying much.
Rod breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly again: "Uh...... What are we going to do now, wait for the Imperial army to come and 'settle everything'?" β
"That's right, but if you're still interested in the afternoon part of the conference, you can go, after all, Master Nelson has just ordered me to be evicted. As a rule, the most important content will be published at the end, which will be a more significant discovery and innovation than my report. β
"No, not interested. When I'm at home, I can't wait to come out and see the world...... But for now, I just want to hurry home. He shrugged apologetically at the little fox who was looking at him expectantly, clearly wanting to see the discoveries or new inventions of the human mages again. After only half a year away from home, he participated in a war, witnessed a coup d'Γ©tat, witnessed the death of two kings, met many friends, and encountered a lot of dangers...... In the end, she came to the conclusion that Catherine had not lied to him at all, and that there was really no better place in the world than home. "Bring back the end of the matter, I hope to return to Wenwei directly, and not stop anywhere along the way, I really don't want to encounter any more accidents and episodes, okay?"
"Of course, if you so wish. Without hesitation, Roy nodded and promised to bring her restless brother home, and she begged: "Pack your things, I already feel the ground shake." β
There wasn't much to tidy up, and with his personal belongings in his pouch, Rhodes went to the window.
A wave of red poured in from the eastern avenue, and the Imperial cavalry, heavily armed and mounted on tall horses, approached the city, and when they approached the distance of a street, they divided into several groups, turned left and right, and passed through the surrounding alleys, blocking the unsuspecting Narieg army that surrounded the building with incredible coordination and skill. The Imperial officers shouted orders to the Narig soldiers present to lay down their weapons...... Faced with the disappearance of the king and the invincible imperial army entering the city and facing each other with swords, the kingdom army, which was even more numerous, laid down their arms and fell to their knees, surrendering without much hesitation.
Rhodes learned from Roy that at the same time there were two other Imperial forces that had gone to other parts of the city - one of them was responsible for besieging the royal palace, and the other was to follow a list of important and powerful officials to control all the important and powerful officials of Narig, except for the single-digit casualties in the battle for the city gate, this rich and prosperous sprawling city could be said to have changed hands in the hands of the Empire in a bloodless coup. A few months later, it would be transformed into the province of Narieg and officially part of Midland.
A series of major events that began with a jousting tournament ended with the end of the Narieg coup. No one expected that the war still going on in Anteli was not completely over, but that this seemingly unrelated small kingdom between the warring parties was the first to suffer the fate of annihilation, and Roy concealed the true process from the outside world according to the agreement with the Nelson Holy Magister...... The outside world, as well as future generations, will never know the real reason why this coup ended so quickly and cleanly.
